The unstable shoulder: recurring subluxation.

K S Morton

    Injury
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Many shoulder surgeries are performed for recurring subluxation, not true dislocation. Preoperative manipulation under anesthesia is key to diagnosing this subtle anterior shoulder instability.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Recurring shoulder dislocation is a common orthopedic issue.
    • Operative repairs are frequently performed for this condition.

    Observation:

    • A significant number of operations for recurring shoulder dislocation were for recurring subluxation.
    • Patients presented with apprehension during external rotation, not recalled trauma or radiographic evidence of dislocation.
    • Standard imaging like radiographs, arthrography, and cineradiography were often unhelpful in diagnosing anterior displacement.

    Findings:

    • Preoperative manipulation under general anesthesia effectively demonstrated anterior instability in all cases.
    • Of 99 Magnuson-Stack repairs, 34 were for recurring subluxation, contradicting standard orthopedic teaching.

  • This highlights the prevalence of inherent shoulder instability as a cause of recurrent shoulder problems.

    • Implications:

    • Revising diagnostic criteria for recurrent shoulder instability is necessary.
    • Preoperative assessment should include careful evaluation for subtle instability.
    • Understanding inherent instability can improve surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.
